===== General Strategy =====
 
 
 
The Shadow version of Sleep, Caradhras, Saruman's Power is the most powerful tool for condition removal available to Shadow players. For the cost of [2] and the exertion of an [Isengard] minion, Saruman's Power discards every active condition, including the Shadow player's own !Shadow !conditions as well as the Free Peoples player's !Free Peoples !conditions. With the double-edged effect of discarding the Shadow player's own Shadow conditions, playing this card in condition-heavy Shadow is not ideal. That said, [Isengard] !condition Saruman's Ambition can reduce the cost of this event, making it even more potent for its cost. With such a powerful effect, Saruman's Power remains relevant in all formats, even ones where [isengard] itself is not prominent.
 
 
 
===== Strengths and Weaknesses =====
 
 
 
=== Strong Versus... ===
 
 
 
  * Condition-based Free Peoples, including:
 
    * Dauntless Hobbits (Escape, Fearing the Worst, A Talent for Not Being Seen)
 
    * Trust Me As You Once Did
 
    * [Gondor] Knights
 
    * [Rohan] Army (We Left None Alive, Arrow-Slits, Thundering Host)
 
    * [Dwarven] condition
 
    * Shadowplay Hobbits
 
    * Expanded Hobbits
 
  * Saruman's Ambition can reduce the twilight cost of this event; however, the event will discard the condition
 
  * Versatile splash event with splash minions like Grima or [[lotr04173|Saruman, Black Traitor]] as well as [Isengard] Uruk-Hai, Orc, or Man
 
  * Best in decks that do not rely on many conditions, such as [Isengard] Wargs or Uruk beatdown
 
 
 
=== Weak Versus... ===
 
 
 
  * Foul Creation
 
  * Decks that do not rely upon conditions
 
  * Condition shielding, such as Pippin, Friend to Frodo or Gimli, Feared Axeman
 
 
 
===== Rules and Clarifications =====
 
 
 
  * This card affects active conditions only, so it won't affect your free peoples conditions or your opponent's Shadow conditions.
